On May Day — International Workers' Day — we remember the sacrifices made by union members of the past to win the rights we have today.
The 8-hour workday, weekends, overtime pay, workplace safety protections—they weren't handed to us. Workers fought for them, and some gave their lives for them.

So the most powerful Republican Senator of my lifetime whipped up ... 2 votes for literally the future of our military.

The vote was 50–50, with Senator Susan Collins, Senator Lisa Murkowski, and Senator Mitch McConnell voting against Hegseth from the Republican side.
VP JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote.

The government shutdown is here due to Elon Musk and then Trump concurred. So it wasn’t Trump’s idea
